The Thought Cathedral: A Novel

Lyn Lee is working as a technician for Brooklyn Capital Management, an obscure and unusual venture capital firm located away from the Wall Street establishment in Brooklyn, New York, when she is recruited by Charlie Monroe, the company’s eccentric founder and CEO, and the FBI to help identify a mole they believe is passing classified information to the Chinese government. Security clearance in hand, Lee is scanned into the company’s ultra-advanced virtual reality portal and encouraged by the FBI to initiate a relationship with one of the FBI’s lead suspects. Meanwhile, Lee is unaware that the tension has been ratcheted sky high due to the abduction and murder of some of Brooklyn Capital’s finest on U.S. soil and the attempted extortion of game-changing cloaking technology developed by the firm. 

Lee finds herself caught in an unprecedented game of cat and mouse between the United States and China as she must rely on her wits and resourcefulness developed from her experiences as the daughter of Chinese immigrants in gang-ridden 80’s New York City and an unusual cast of characters to find the culprits before the politics boil over into the streets of New York City, Beijing, and Shanghai.
